[/quote]Jason,

If we can get out of Raleigh by 9am we can make it to Rocky Mount by 10am. I don't know that area well, but we could meet you somewhere along 64 (Another McD's at 64 & Wesleyan Blvd?). Other suggestions welcome...[/quote]

Sounds good to me. I will see you there at 10.

Clint, bring your pooch! If the weather forecast is nice I'm bringing mine - he just had major surgery so he's going to have to take it easy.

I'd be happy to meet up in the Raleigh area - I think out by Knightdale may be better than Poole Rd just to get out traffic; and we can meet up in Rocky Mt too for Jason. You guys name the time and I'll be there.

Ramon, 70 mph is fine with me, esp considering gas prices.

Can't wait to go! I so need a relaxing weekend.............

Hi Joe,
We were planning to bring our beagle, but since we are staying in hotels, we didn't want the added hassle. So unfortunately, she has to stay in the kennel for the weekend.

I don't know what traffic is like around Raleigh in the morning (I commute up 55 to RTP), but I don't see an easy place to stop in Knightdale. We could meet in Zebulon at 9am. I found a Sonic at 64 & Arendell.

I plan on bringing one of my dogs, this will be my first camping trip with her so I hope it wont be too much of a hassle.

 

[rutbeer]

I should be able to make it at this point. Hopefully leaving Thursday morning.....just can't get away Wednesday afternoon and leaving after work on Wednesday would put me there pretty late.

 

[GarnerFJ40]

Well, my plans have changed. Originally going to leave on Wednesday, but brother is going to ride shotgun, and can't get off on Wednesday. So, I'm going to leave Thursday morning, and catch up with the early crowd on Ocracoke. Barry, you heading to Ocracoke also? Seems we're splintering into ONSC factions....

 

[highlandcruzer]

Well, It looks like I would need to meet up with the Friday morning crowd. Honestly, I'm still a little confused about who's leaving where, when.

I had hoped to meet with the early crowd, but my wife has decided to join me, and she can't take off earlier than Fri.

How many wives/kids will be attending ? I might decide to bring my 5 y.o. girl too, if there is a strong family attendence. [so she'll have others to play with]

 

[southerncruiser62]

Alright seems like we have three groups now...

Wendesday around lunchtime-Ryan, Justin, Greg
Thursday Morning-Stephen, Barry, Brian
Friday Morning-Juan, Clint, Joe, Scott, Jason, Jared, Ramon

If I am leaving anyone out let me know.

I will post up three threads for departure/meeting locations times.

Its killing me not to go on this trip.. All this talk about meeting up close to me...
Is it too late to pay for a membership and join in on this and other future trips?

Membership is always open, no worries. You can join up at the ride............

My wife and kids are coming. My daughter is 5yrs and my son is 1yr. Bring your daughter along and our girls can play together.

Cool ! I think she'll enjoy the trip. It will probably be the last family trip with her as our "baby". We have another due in June.

I'm bringing my 5 y.o. girl too....










But she's a Labrador Retriever. She'd still probaly love to play with the kids though!

Wish I was going and bringing my 9 yr old

He's the only one still with us (on the right), his sister, left, and momma, center, have passed on!

 

[96Cruiser13]

my 8 month old lab will be there..

he definately LOVES kids haha

 

[mtweller]

That's awesome Sean, you have some good looking Labs there! Sorry the others have passed on, but I am sure you had many great years with them!

On a totally different note... I have contacted the Kitty Hawk Wal-Mart and got "permission" to park tow rigs/trailers in the lot for the weekend. I think we might be best off to just set a time and meet there and maybe not worry about caravaning, because bathroom/fuel stops can get daunting.

Does everyone agree meeting at Wal-Mart in Kitty Hawk at say 2:00PM???

This way those that want to convoy can, but I won't hold anyone up by towing and we won't have to coordinate bathroom/fuel stops. Also, we'll be going the same route, so unless you are the last one coming, if you have a breakdown or issue someone will be able to spot you on and stop to help.

 

[addicted56]

I'm still a bit confused on the who and where but it sounds like our fearless leader has it figured out and will let us know soon. If the Friday group starts at Kitty hawk that doesnt' leave for a lot of beach. But I'm in the Towing crew so I may be up for the same thing. I may just be using a tow bar though. I'm not sure. I think I may still have access to a flatbed trailer I'm borrowing.

Also I'm not sure how I'm going to get back. I have yet to figure out how to get my Cruiser out of 1st gear It just goes from 1st to 1st to N.

What is the max speed on the beach that we will be traveling if I never do manage to get it out of 1st?

 

[southerncruiser62]

I will post up the final plan this evening, along with specific locations and times. For those that are leaving thursday or friday, I will have access to the internet the entire trip so I will keep everyone updated of any changes or beach closings as we encounter things.

 

[rutbeer]

I'm assuming nextel coverage drops off 30 mins beyond Raleigh? lol

 

[southerncruiser62]

Alright guys, I am going through the logistics now, and would like a little help, there are a few that have been to the area, sounds like most want to travel north from Nags Head so for now thats the location I will use for meeting on Friday. As for the Thursday Group, I think a good meeting spot would be Hatteras Village or Frisco.

Friday Group I am thinking will arrive in Nags Head around lunch time or say 11:00-12, how does that work for most.

Thursday group will meet at Hatteras Village early afternoon evening. 3-6

How does this sound for most?

I am currently looking at specific destinations and will post maps and directions.
